Deciding who gets to vote is one thing. Counting the votes is another. Getting on the ballot is a third issue. All three are subject to screwups, errors and court fights. It shouldn't be that way. Counting, though should be simple. How we can do three counts and come up with three results is criminal... considering that the same folks wo make voting machines also make ATMs - which always balance.

From personal experience at a polling place, it amazing what happens. People show up and say "I had to register?" Or they move in the period before election day and are ticked off when we say they need to vote in their old district. Or there are the special cases - a person who plannned to vote in person but was hospitalized the day before and now wants to vote from the hospital... the list goes on and on.
